[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 192648, member: 779"] Well I sort of have something that fits into that idea... On one world there's four major nations, one that resembles late Ming/ Qing dynasty China, another that resembles Prussia (aka Germany), one resembling the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) and finally one resembling the Aztecs. Those four major nations all have industrial age technology. They have fleets of airships, and plenty of firearms, cannons, rockets and other weapons going around. Those four nations are sort of in their imperialism phase, going around conquering, exploiting and otherwise colonizing many other smaller nations. Assume all the nations are True Neutral in alignment except for the Aztec like one which would be more Lawful Evil like. Out of the four the Chinese-like nation is the most advanced in terms of Science (as in research and theory) and the second most advanced in terms of technology. The Prussians are the most technologically advanced, possessing the best mechanical armor and mechanized technology around. The Aztec like nation is a theocracy, and get a lot of power from their dark rituals involving human sacrifices. They have things like flying pyramids, and Sun staffs. These staffs shoots beams of light, which is the vengeance of their Sun God personified. They work just like laser guns except only clerics of the Theocracy can use them. I haven't yet thought of any distinguishing features for the Ottoman-like empire. Those four nations are of course in conflict with the Chinese and Prussian nation allied against the Ottoman and Aztec nation who are allied with each other. I haven't thought too much about where non-human races fit into the whole thing. [/QUOTE]
